From the People Who Matter Most

"Erin Hyland of Jack out of the Box Designs brings incredible passion, precision, and professionalism to her work product.
Her insights and suggestions go beyond aesthetics. She made sure my website was user-friendly and a true reflection of me and my business promise.
She is responsive, reasonable and an absolute delight to work with. I highly recommend Jack Out Of The Box Designs; they're local, very customer focused and smart."

"Outstanding service and quality. Jack Out of the Box has helped our company increase sales by being our marketing partner, idea generator, and teammate. They fill in the gaps of the business where they are excellent and support us so we can expand. They helped our company in a variety of ways, and the greatest way by clearing space for us to grow! Thank you to Erin and her team."

"I used to feel a little embarrassed putting out my yellow cards because they looked kind of budget and the audience would see those before they saw me. These, I felt great putting out as my first impression! And, a fellow speaker is referring me to one of her clients. I sent her a link to my website and attached my Innovation E-book and New Speaker Brochure. In her reply, she said, 'Your materials look SO GREAT!!' So thanks again!!"

"I received one of the best compliments today. My mentor and coach when I became active in NSA called to compliment my blog and my website. He said he was so proud of me and the work I've been creating and doing. The blog and web site that you created for me is truly my authentic persona. Erin, thank you for your encouragement."

Define

Design

Once your final project mission is established, we dive into creating website designs that best support your business goals and overall brand.

Develop

Upon final design approval, we stylize your website in WordPress, using SEO-friendly techniques and responsive (mobile-friendly) code.

Drive

After site launch, we offer support for up to 2 months as you test drive your site and determine if Message Management maintenance is right for you.

Need a ballpark estimate? Responsive website projects start at about $2,400, and are typically completed within 8 weeks to 3 months, depending on your project scope.

Project Portfolio

A sampling of our favorite project work for some pretty stellar clients.

Avish Parashar

Professional Speaker / Motivational Improviser

We love working with Avish, a talented speaker who we've graphically supported for several years. We've helped Avish cement his "Motivational Improviser" status visually on business cards, postcards, flyers, books and website images.

Your Voice Your Vision

Author, Speaker and Coach Cheryl Rice

If there's a better client partner than Cheryl Rice, we haven't met her. We've supported Cheryl through a significant rebranding, starting with her brand exploration, then moving to her marketing materials and her responsive website redesign, and now consistently support her continued blog posts and email campaigns.

Dutch Blitz

Kim Gusta Marketing

Content marketing & copywriting for technology companies

We first met Kim in 2012, when the talented copywriter needed a website. And while Kim enjoys maintaining her own site content, we reconnected with a Message Management package recently, in which we gave Kim's brand a boost with a website facelift and overhauled her email campaigns.

Matt Paul Sports

'Building Confident Kids' Sports Programs

When Matt Paul Sports first reached out, we knew of his reputation for running spectacular programs for kids ages 4-16, but none of his marketing materials matched that reputation. We brainstormed a new marketing structure, overhauled his marketing and generated a parent-friendly, responsive website.

Howl-o-ween Pet Parade

Graphic sponsorship

If you follow us on Instagram or Facebook, we're sure you saw how much fun we had at our local Howl-o-ween Pet Parade. In our first official graphic sponsor role, we created several email campaigns promoting the event, as well as the event flyer.

Red Inspires

Professional Speaker and Author Red Katz

When professional speaker and author Red Katz approached us about a website, he was redefining his business. We helped him through his rebranding effort, and then generated a great-looking, responsive website with supporting marketing materials.

Under the Staircase

An economic adventure series for kids

One of our first responsive websites was Under the Staircase books, a book series we've read and really enjoyed. We continue to work with the authors through a Message Management package with email campaign support.

Leadership Nature

Leadership development for natural resource professionals

Working with Tom Davidson is truly a creative team effort, and we love that. Tom's spit-fire ideas kept us on our toes when we first built his website, and still do as we continue to support his marketing efforts in email campaigns and blog posts.

Public Citizen

A non-profit protecting health, safety and democracy

We've assisted this non-profit for several years graphically, with the layout of monthly newsletters 'Worst Pills, Best Pills', 'Health' and 'Public Citizen News' as well as special projects, such as their annual Gala events.

Trax Restaurant & Café

Local farm-to-table BYOB restaurant

We really enjoyed overhauling Trax Café's outdated and non-mobile friendly site, turning it into a one-page responsive site and seamlessly embedding reservation-booking software.

Solid Fire Consulting

We nerded out working with organizational design expert Alissa Schwartz who has this to say about her new website, "Yes!!!! So grateful for all of your work creativity and high level of skill!" We felt the same way about her.

Greater Philadelphia IMA

Local chapter of an association of financial professionals

We've supported the Philadelphia chapter of IMA for several years, starting with a website design in 2008, followed by a site redesign and maintenance, membership postcards and routine email campaigns.

P31 Consulting

A small, boutique consulting firm

P31 Consulting was a busy and successful business when they reached out about web design in 2012; it's just that their user un-friendly website didn't reflect that. So, we teamed with them and a copywriter to create a great example of what does belong on a successful business website supported by solid design.

On social media

You’ve been working hard for weeks (or, let’s be honest, likely longer) building a new website to give your business a professional online presence. Now that you’re done gathering artwork, creating content, reviewing designs and clicking through site pages, you’re itching to flip the switch on the completed site. Take a deep breath. You don’t want to rush a launch if your site hasn’t been thoroughly tested. If you teamed with web professionals on the project, they’ve likely followed their own procedures to ensure the site’s launch success. If they didn’t also share some steps with you, or you just […]
